Chalk another one up for &quot;Antiviruses causing more problems than solving them&quot;.<p>They &#x27;worked&#x27; when they initially just scanned files for known malicious signatures. Now they&#x27;re the equivalent of a sledgehammer to a wall with all of the extra bells &amp; whistles strapped to them.<p>Application whitelisting is the remaining way forward if you actually care about runtime security. That &amp; locking every access point down to the bare minimum.

That&#x27;s an impressively tight TOCTOU exploit!
